A busy weekend - and finally photos
Feb. 4th, 2018 08:55 pmThis weekend started with working rather late in the afternoon on Friday, followed by celebrating Imbolc with my coven, and getting rather drunk. Quite intentionally, I needed that. Saturday I was a bit hung over so I didn't go to the gym in the morning. However, I did bake a birthday cake for Rickard, who turned 49, before heading out for some necessary shopping and pokemon hunting with Valeria and Rickard, and then on to the annual general meeting of Gotvik, the local SCA group. It was combined with silk banner painting, but I didn't have the time to spend all day thee. So I brought a small knitting project and hung out with people who painted for a couple of hours before the AGM started.
After the meeting I went home for dinner, and decorated the cake. Neighbour Anna came over and we ended up playing "Cards against humanity" (mine, and the twins' bithday present to Rickard) until half past midnight :)
Woke up late-ish, around 9.30 and had breakfast and went to the gym for an hour. After I got home (and had a bath) Valeria and I finally managed to get around to taking photos of her in her Eleonora di Toledo gown, which was finished in early December.

I will make a page with documentation over at Eva's historical costuming blog, but not tonight, I am way too tired. Especially since after that short photo session we went to my sister's place to celebrate the birthday of the youngest niece (6). Then home, where I did some simple work on the photos, and then made dinner, which consisted of medieval lasagna, that is: home made pasta made from fermented dough, cooked in broth and layered with mozzarella and cinnamon and served. it is wonderful.
After that I knitted on Alfhild's stockings through a couple of episodes of Star Trek the Next Generation, but now I really need to go to bed.
